Right. The index.php redirects to corporate login, which redirects back to our site with a cookie set... supposedly.

Nope, I have no control - that's serious corporate. Apparently, it works in production. I'm using SSL certs that I generated, using <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html#selfcert>, and removed the password from, per the instructions.

If I haven't mentioned, I do know from the access_log (that I finally looked at), that it's an endless redirect (302). We played with the php code, and what's happening is that no cookie is being set. As best I can tell, IE is refusing to accept it. I *have* told it to accept cookies from the domain, and it's ignoring me.... (What do you want, it *is* Internet Exploder <g>)
